Abstract EN
A 22-year-old woman with myasthenia gravis (MG) presented with ptosis and mild muscle weakness symptoms for one year.
Computed tomography (CT) presented a diffuse bilobulate enlargement gland with a high density of soft tissue.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed the gland with no suppression on the opposed-phase chemical shift.
After the thymic tumor diagnosis, she underwent thoracoscopic surgery for tumor resection.
The postoperative histopathological finding was thymic lymphoid hyperplasia.
This case suggests chemical shift MRI is not enough in distinguishing, and supplementary examination is essential to avoid unnecessary thymic biopsy and surgery.
